Oaklands is split into two sections, the main house and single occupancy flats.
Seven single occupancy flats – These self-contained living areas provide the opportunity for seven individuals with more challenging needs to live in their own space with staff support. Each flat has a lounge, kitchen / diner, en-suite bedroom as well as a staff observation area. In addition one of the flats is located away from the main house and has its own front door and garden.
Eight en-suite bedrooms with multiple lounge and dining facilities. Other facilities within the service that are accessible for all individuals include a sensory room, large garden, café area and a conservatory.
Oaklands is a large detached property with extensive living areas. Close to the historic market town, individuals can access a good choice of recreational and leisure facilities. These include a swimming pool, a library, parks and shops, as well as the beautiful surrounding countryside.
